REUTERS/Julio Cesar Chavez/File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsSept 4 (Reuters) - Private market insured losses are expected to be between $3 billion and $5 billion due to Hurricane Idalia which struck the Big Bend region of Florida last week, the catastrophe risk modeling business of Moody's said in a report on Monday. The estimates represented insured losses associated with wind, storm surge, and precipitation-induced flooding caused due to the hurricane. "Major Hurricane Idalia could have been much more impactful had the storm taken a different track or not weakened just before landfall," said Jeff Waters of Moody's RMS said. The report also said it expects around $500 million in losses to the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) due to the hurricane.

A vehicle drives on a flooded road after the arrival of Hurricane Idalia, in Cedar Key, Florida, U.S., August 30, 2023. Hurricane Idalia plowed into Florida's Gulf Coast with fierce winds, torrential rains and pounding surf before weakening but turning its fury on southeastern Georgia, where floodwaters trapped some residents in their homes. At about $10 billion, Idalia would cost insurers less than 10 of the costliest hurricanes to hit the United States. Higher reinsurance rates can affect the premiums that insurers charge their customers. FLORIDA PAINFlorida has a large number of very small, thinly capitalized insurers, insurance experts have said.
